Tune-Up in Murrieta
Plugs, filters, ignition and induction — restore lost power and MPG.
A modern tune-up isn't points and timing; it's spark plugs at the correct gap and torque, coil and ignition testing, air and cabin filters, and cleaning the induction path where carbon builds up.
Rough idle, hesitation, hard starting and falling fuel economy usually improve immediately — and a well-tuned engine is far more likely to pass smog.
